After 2 years of being certified under the ISO-22301 standard, DCV recertified its Business Continuity Management System for a 3-year period (2016-2019).

This past August, Wagner Moiolli, Auditor at BSI Brazil, visited DCV and, after three days of deep examination and analysis of the information, and reviewing of the elements within the certification’s scope, concluded that the Business Continuity Management System of the company has a level of maturity necessary to be recertified.

The principal objective of this recertification lies on continuous improvement and learning, which establishes DVC as a highly resilient company, with a clear policy, continuity and recovery plans, strategies, procedures, and the organizational culture necessary to react to and manage incidents that may put the operation of its services at risk.

Successful recertification means, however, that 4 minor nonconformities must be addressed, which will be dealt with through an action plan to be reviewed during the next visit from BSI, in 2017.

The Continuity unit of DCV engaged the Process Owners to create the action plan required in order to tackle and solve the nonconformities, which was recently approved by the auditor.

The challenges for the Continuity area are oriented mostly in keeping the company’s certification and in strengthening the Management System’s principal processes: policy compliance, strategy and test plan coverage improvement, strengthening organizational culture based on continuity, incident management and overall continuous improvement.

In May, 2014, BSI Group, a leading company in the field of technical standards with extensive international experience, awarded DCV with the ISO 22301 certification, thus giving the company a worldwide certification in best practices and efficient and effective management of risks associated to disruptions that may affect the services it provides to the financial market; this is a clear benefit for DVC’s stakeholders such as shareholders, clients, suppliers, auditors, directors of the board and the financial market in general.

Since 2011, DVC has shown its commitment with the implementation of international best practices related to Business Continuity. For this reason, in 2013 and after a great deal of hard work, it was awarded the BS 25999 certification. Subsequently, in 2014 the company’s management stepped up its efforts to obtain ISO 22301:2012 Societal Security – Business Continuity Management System – Requirements (upgrade from BS 25999).

For DCV, it os proud to have achieved this recertification, for it is a reward for the hard work of everyone involved in making this company great.
